Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Legno Nero Rosso by Alberto Burri was auctioned at Sothebys in London in March last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000,000.00 – 4,000,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,181,000.00 (€ 3,771,433.52) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alberto Burri - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sacco E Rosso, which sold at auction in February 2016 for GBP 9,109,000.00 (€ 11,672,058.70).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Legno Nero Rosso von Alberto Burri kam im März letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000.000,00 – 4.000.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 3.181.000,00 (€ 3.771.433,52) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Alberto Burri mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sacco E Rosso beobachtet, die im Februar 2016 für GBP 9.109.000,00 (€ 11.672.058,70) versteigert wurde.
